Proverbs 24:34

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

So shall thy poverty come as a robber; And thy want as an armed man.

See the chapter Copy

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

He also that is slack in his work Is brother to him that is a destroyer.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
